Incomplete dominance occurs when neither allele is completely dominant over the other, resulting in a phenotype that is a blend of both traits. For example, if one allele represents red flowers and the other represents white flowers, the offspring may exhibit pink flowers. In this case, both alleles contribute to the phenotype without one overshadowing the other.
Incomplete dominance
When a heterozygous genotype (two different alleles) results in an intermediate phenotype, this is either codominance or incomplete dominance. If it is codominance, then both alleles are expressed together in the phenotype. If it is incomplete dominance, the two alleles produce a blended phenotype rather than both alleles being expressed together.
When both alleles contribute to the phenotype of a heterozygous the alleles are said to show the dominate alleles and sometimes the recessive but mostly the dominate alleles
Both alleles are expressed in offspring when neither allele is dominant over the other, resulting in co-dominance. This means that both alleles are simultaneously expressed in the offspring's phenotype.
Incomplete Dominance
Incomplete dominance is the type of inheritance that involves the partial expression of two different alleles. This results in a blending of traits from both alleles, producing an intermediate phenotype.
It is called codominance or incomplete dominance.
Types of dominance, multiple alleles, sex linked inheritance, polygenic inheritance and maternal inheritance.

For alleles that exhibit incomplete dominance, a capitalized letter is used to represent the dominant allele, and a lowercase letter of the same symbol represents the recessive allele. When writing these alleles, you can denote the incomplete dominance by writing superscripts (e.g., A^1, A^2).
